I'm adding a subwoofer to my existing system (non-OEM) and was curious as to what size is most accommodating for the size of the 993 cockpit - 6", 8" or 10"?

I plan to use a ported enclosure and sit it behind the passenger seat.

Behind the passenger seat you should be able to fit an 8" sub. Car Audio Innovations which is a sponsor on here sells enclosures for 8" subs that fit behind the seats. I have 2 JL Audio Amps for sale in the classified section for a great price if you're looking for that upgrade as well.

either 1 10" or 2 8".

Wouldn't Supercups be best? You wouldn't need any stereo then.

Bass is of course a personal and subjective preference...That said, I had two 8"'s in my previous 996 and regretted it (just not deep enough for my taste). We made a custom (sealed) enclosure to accomodate a 10" JL Audio unit behind the driver's seat in my 993 (where no one is ever going to sit anyway). I got to keep my rear passenger side seat and no one including me is ever going to complain there's not enough bass! now and I couldn't be happeir with the result. Here's a link to the overall install thread. La Jolla Audio does these "seat well" sub enclosure's also but they are cater to a very high end clientele and are priced accordingly.

I had a single JL Audio in m 911SC, and it POUNDED!. Very tight bass. it was powered by a Linear Power PC450.
How good the sub will sound depends on the power feeding it, and the enclosure as well. Pioneer has a new slim sub that looks good that I have heard good things about.

Here is what it looks like if you do away with the seats all together.

Mark: I'll take your amps!! PM sent.

Rick: My B&B is just enough.

McGarrett: Nice enclosure!!! I just want the ability to remove my 'tronics when I race.

Jordan - thanks! Like your write up and recommendations. I'm definitely looking into the rear seat delete and placing my sub in there.


Is Flat-Six Performance a new shop since MOM closed?

Preferences vary but I tried a 10" behind the passenger's seat and it literally blew me out of the car. Just too much bass. It was powered by a CDR-220 and a newer model amp. Just too much for the small space. Try an 8" under the dash.

Thanks David, I'll look forward to pics of the end result!

With Mind Over Motorsports indeed closed and the partners splitting, my plans for Flat-6 are to offer boutique Porsche broker services (I'm also a licensed dealer) - both contracted and very low volume nice example "general sales". I'm also involved in some fun projects for clients that desire turn key and highly configurable a-la-carte builds of 73 911 RS & RSR replicas using a later 911 donor chassis up to 1989 supplied either by our client or by Flat-6. The replicas are a collaborative effort with another alliance I have who is a 30 year Porsche mechanic and fabricator. We can also do a 993 RS replica BTW. That said, Flat-6 is for now not offering street or track services and is focussed on whole vehicle sales.

I'll leave it there since I'm not yet re-established as a Rennlist sponsor under the Flat-6 umbrella so I don't want to overstep promoting the new commercial enterprise!

8" Infinity sub has been working great for me. Put it behind the drivers seat.
